Oris or Maurice Lacroix

I found another similar moonphase watch by Oris.

Two minds on which brand is better, name wise and quality wise?

Your thoughts please.

ML Masterpieces are very nice watches, but I can't speak for the othe ML lines. If you're comparing hte ML Masterpiece to Oris, I'd go with ML, but if it's from the other lines, it's a toss up.

Depends on what you're looking for. If you want a beefy, bulky sports watch, go with Oris. If you want more of a dressy watch go for ML. As others have mentioned, ML Masterpiece is at a higher level all together. Good luck!

I have an Oris Asterix and it's a great looking watch IMO.

This is the watch I have in mind but also like the Maurice Lacroix Les Classique Moonphase Chrono.

Between those 2 I prefer the Oris, it's also an annual calender. And I think esthetically looks better than the ML, just MHO. Whatever you chose as long as you love it is a that matters.

I like the simplicity of the Oris but the ML is retailed at £3200 and I can get 60% off. Also it is more complication with annual calendar and chrono.

I'd vote for Oris. Just as well made, beautiful dials, far less expensive and maybe rarer too!!

Both are good. At a pinch I think that Oris would be my choice though
